User-Defined Status/Stages
Presently, to define status of a task, there are only three options available with the user, namely, Not Started, In Progress, Complete.
Provision to user's to create more status-tags will help track the status.

Yes, agree this a much required field. Some times tasks can be on hold/blocked and we need a status for that. also tasks can be deferred or cancelled too.

I like Glinda Pasquil's list. I would change proofing to review and add returned (because there isn't an option for not approved).

I would love to be able to add my own as needed, but these are ones I'd like to see
- Not Started (Plan)
- In Progress (Do)
- On hold (Wait)
- Proofing (Check)
- Authorize (Approve)
- Completed (Done) -

(Where can I also make a request for a due-date per check-list item?)

This needs to be a customizable list to fit the status stages of the department's process. For some it will be "Idea, Up Next, Doing, Done" for some it might be "S, P, D, C, A" for others it might be "D,M,A,I,C" - it needs to be editable in the planner card setting to reflect the language of the department and take some burden off of the flags.

Wishing for more options in the Status field as well. On Hold is the most preferred, but custom options would be great too.

Has there been any progress on this effort? This would be very helpful for our company at the moment and I believe others as well.

Totally agree! I'm new at working with planner and have just realized I miss this feature. A Google search showed me that it really isn't there. Would be very helpful!!!
